Product Overview – VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door

The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door is what a French door should be: paired aluminum doors with symmetrical sightlines, a flush threshold, and multi-point lock hardware that pulls both panels tight against the frame. Aluminum is the reason this door holds its shape through Woodland Hills summer heat and the cooler, damp mornings we get in December and January. Wood doors swell and stick in this climate. Aluminum doesn’t.

What buyers notice first is the sightline. The frames are built around a 2.56-inch profile width, which is slim enough to let the glass do the talking but thick enough to carry a panel up to 96 inches wide. That’s a genuine double-door opening, not a decorative one. The profile wall thickness is 0.098 inches, which translates to a door that doesn’t flex when you lean on it and doesn’t rattle when the Santa Ana winds come through the valley.

Architecturally, the VLX 100 fits two kinds of Woodland Hills homes. It reads modern on mid-century ranches south of Ventura Boulevard, especially in an anodized silver or matte black finish. It also works on newer builds in the hills above Topanga, where homeowners are replacing old sliding glass doors with swing doors that feel more like furniture and less like hardware. The flush threshold is a practical detail: no raised track to trip over, and better accessibility for anyone using a walker or wheelchair. Multi-point locking means the door secures at the top, bottom, and center, not just one latch point.

Juniper Windows Woodland Hills has installed this door in homes from Winnetka to Calabasas. We know what it takes to set it level, square, and plumb, and we know what happens when someone doesn’t. If you’d like to see one in person before committing, call (831) 508-3441 and we’ll bring samples and measurements to your home.

Technical Specifications

Here are the numbers that matter for this door, in plain terms. The profile extrusion is 2.56 inches wide with a 0.098-inch wall thickness. That’s the part of the frame you see, and the internal wall that keeps it rigid. Maximum panel span runs up to 96 inches in width, so a true double-door opening can clear eight feet across. Glass options include the standards: clear, frosted, obscure, low-E, tempered, and laminated. Finishes come in Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and a Teak Wood grain. Screens are optional, and the one available option is a retractable screen that disappears into the frame when you’re not using it.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency

The VLX 100 frame carries a thermal break that separates the interior and exterior aluminum, so heat doesn’t conduct straight through the metal. It’s NFRC-rated, which means the energy numbers come from independent testing, not a marketing sheet. In a Woodland Hills summer, that break is the difference between a door that radiates heat into the room and one that stays cool to the touch.

Acoustic Performance

If you live near the 101 or Ventura Boulevard, you know what road noise does to a conversation. This door’s multi-point compression seal pulls the panels tight into the frame, cutting the air gaps that let sound through. Laminated glass takes it further. We’ve had customers in Woodland Hills off Desoto Avenue notice the difference the first night.

Airtightness & Weather Seal

The door is engineered to close against a continuous perimeter seal, not a loose weatherstrip. That matters for dust as much as temperature. Homes near the Santa Monica Mountains get a surprising amount of fine dust through open canyons, and a door that seals tight keeps it outside.

Waterproofing

Every VLX 100 we install in Woodland Hills gets a perimeter seal using AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. That’s an industry standard for sealing the rough opening gap between the door frame and the wall. Combined with the flush threshold design, it prevents the kind of slow water intrusion that rots framing and shows up years later.

Wind Resistance

Woodland Hills sits in a wind zone that catches Santa Ana gusts, especially in the hills. This door is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and when we order your panels, we specify the rating for your exact address, not a generic standard. The ratings are determined by the local building authority’s requirements for Woodland Hills and Los Angeles County.

Security & Hardware

The multi-point locking hardware engages the frame at three points along the door’s height. That’s a meaningful step up from a single deadbolt, and it’s why the VLX 100 is popular for ground-floor condos and homes with alleys or walkways at the back. Impact-resistant laminated glass is available as an upgrade for anyone who wants the extra layer.

Color & Glass Options

The six finish options cover most of what we see in Woodland Hills. Premium Black suits modern and transitional homes, especially those with black window frames already. Pure White works for coastal and traditional styles, though it requires a little more cleaning to look its best. Anodized Silver has the raw aluminum look that fits mid-century homes along Mulholland. Bronze and Champagne are warmer metals that pair well with stone exteriors and tile roofs in neighborhoods like Woodland Hills Estates. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish for homeowners who want the warmth of wood without the swelling and maintenance.

On the glass side: clear is the default for unobstructed views. Frosted fits powder rooms, laundry rooms, or any place you want light without visibility. Obscure glass does the same with a textured finish. Low-E is the upgrade we recommend for west-facing doors in Woodland Hills, where afternoon sun turns a glass door into a radiator. Tempered glass is standard code in most door locations. Laminated glass is the safety and sound option, and it’s the one to pick for impact resistance or if you live near a canyon with high fire-risk wind conditions.

Installation by Juniper Windows Woodland Hills in Woodland Hills

Installation quality determines whether a door like this performs for fifteen years or starts binding in two. Juniper Windows Woodland Hills installs the VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door to the AAMA 2400 and AAMA 2410 installation standards, which are the accepted industry standards for window and door installation in residential and light commercial buildings. That compliance matters for two reasons. First, it’s what ViewLux requires to keep the manufacturer warranty intact. Second, it’s simply the correct way to install a door in Woodland Hills, where temperature swings and wind loads test every seal on the house.

The process starts with a pre-installation inspection. We measure the rough opening, check the rough framing for level and plumb, and inspect the sill for rot or deflection before we order anything. Once the door arrives, we set the frame level, plumb, and square, using shims at the anchor points and fasteners per the installation reference. Then we foam the perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, which fills the gap between the frame and the rough opening without bowing the frame. The interior and exterior joints get a continuous sealant bead, the sill is flashed and protectively sealed, and we perform a water test before we call it done. Cleanup is included.

An important note: if a door like this is installed by someone who doesn’t pull it square, the multi-point lock won’t engage correctly and the panels will eventually sag. We’ve corrected enough of those installs in Woodland Hills to know how preventable it is. We were authorized by ViewLux specifically because we meet their training and installation requirements. When you work with us, you get the door and the install as one accountable transaction. Call (831) 508-3441 to talk through your project.
